Hi friends,
I am sorry to go politics on you but I can't help it. With so much garbage being sputed out by this Administration, a voice of reason and truth is necessary. I hope you take the time to listen to how our freedoms are being stripped away from us. It is hard to get to the truth, but it is still out there. I am also grateful for the fact like men like Glenn Beck are passionately trying to keep the American people informed and educated. Mr. Beck is rooted with a great spiritual knowledge of things and he is blessed with the ability to teach.
Be well,
Richard
You've blogged your way to Bowman's Thoughts and Things. Before you leave I hope that you will leave having been informed and introduced to some pretty good products. Because I have Lyme Disease I do hope that you learn something about Lyme and the need for more research. If you know someone with Lyme disease-show kindness and understanding. Believe me, it will be very much appreciated. The very best of health to you all!

Dr. Dave Martz - A Lyme Disease Champion
Hi My Friends,
My Dr. Dave Martz was one of the doctors that diagnosed and treated me for Lyme disease. Dr. Martz is a very pleasant man with a determination to find a cure for Lyme disease. He gave up his Lyme disease practice in Colorado Springs due to his illness but is now starting a new job as President of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. Below is an article from the California Lyme Disease Association which talks about Dr. Martz. The full text of the article can be found on http://www.lymedisease.org/news/touchedbylyme/372.html. Dr. Martz was responsible for starting me on Rocephine

TOUCHED BY LYME: Dr. Dave Martz, who overcame his own ALS death sentence with Lyme treatment, will keynote CALDA conference April 24
15 March, 2010
As Dave Martz lay dying, an idea serpentined around his mind and would not loosen its grip: Despite the absolute diagnosis and the insistence of the doctors, including a world expert, that he was dying of ALS, despite his own vow to face things head-on and reject the lure of denial, Martz couldn’t shake the notion that possibly, just maybe, he actually had Lyme disease. (from "Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic," by Pamela Weintraub.)
Dr. David Martz is kind of a rock star in the Lyme world. You may have read about him in Pam Weintraub’s Cure Unknown, and seen footage of him in the documentary Under Our Skin.
His story is riveting. After a lifetime of good health and a successful career as a physician practicing internal medicine-hematology-oncology for 30 years, in 2003, Martz suddenly started experiencing strange symptoms. First deep fatigue, then profound muscle aches and body-wide pain. Soon he was too weak to get out of bed. As his condition rapidly deteriorated, his physicians gave him a devastating diagnosis: ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease). They said nothing could stem his physical decline and he would likely be dead within two years.
But events went in a different direction. As his health spiraled downward, Martz connected with a Lyme specialist who prescribed hard-hitting, long-term antibiotics. The gamble paid off. By the end of 2004, Martz was a new man. In fact, the doctor who had diagnosed him so definitively with ALS, now pronounced that condition completely gone.
Martz devoted the next two and a half years to a project that gave extended antibiotics to about 90 ALS patients, and demonstrated objective improvements in 15% of them. He has also treated more than 800 chronic Lyme patients, with good response and minimal side effects. That work is currently being written up for publication.
Martz is moving into a new phase of life now, having recently been named president-elect of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. His term will start in 2011.
Martz will be the keynote speaker at CALDA’s annual patient conference, “Getting Healthy Again in 2010,” on April 24. The event will be held at the Dougherty Station Community Center, 17011 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA.

About Me
- rbowman838
- Pueblo, Colorado, United States
- I am a Chronic Lyme disease patient. I was bitten by a tick in 2001 and have been very sick ever since. Subsequently, you could say I am a Lyme disease junkie.I thirst for any information about it,any treatments, research etc. It has been a life altering experience, which has kept me away from our business and at home most of the time. I use to own A-1 Barricade and Sign Inc. here in Pueblo, Co, but because of the Lyme disease, my sons are running the business for the most part with my wife. I have been married for 48 years to a wonderful woman who is also my best friend. We have five children, all grown. Four boys live here in Pueblo and my only daughter lives in Bonney Lake, Washington. We miss her a lot. I have 7 grandchildren, which are the greatest of all. They are all exceptionally beautiful! The last thing you need to know about me is that I am proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because of this I have the knowledge that life is eternal and that it does not end here, but it will go on after death because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth I bear witness of!
